We are having a "bad" day, but he tried to pull with the slip just as much and the "choke" tug didn't phase him.

His focus in general is excellent until I put a leash on him. Then his attention is on pull, pull, pull. I stopped for about 5 minutes today, got him to sit, but couldn't get his eye contact. (He was intently watching the mailman's truck.) We seem to be at a standstill. Hopefully we'll have a turnaround soon. Always darkest before the dawn?
Sometimes you hit plateau's on the way. You just have to work through them or wait them out. Keep doing what you're doing. Be persistant, eventaully you'll get there!
